Question

4. On Monday, Vincent drove to town at 60 miles per hour. On Tuesday, he drove to town at 40 miles per hour. If the total traveling time for both trips was 15 hours, how far was it to town?

Answer 1

How can the travel time be the same?

Answer 2

Its not the same. It is the TOTAL time for both trips.

Answer 3

\[Rate of Monday *Time of Monday = Rate of Tuesday * Time of Tuesday\]

Answer 4

\[Time Monday + TimeTuesday = 15\]

Answer 5

\[t=\frac{d}{r} \]Solve the following for d, the distance:\[\frac{d}{40}+\frac{d}{60}=15 \]\[d=360 \text{ miles} \]
